It's easy enough to calculate based off of what you rep out if you'd like.

I spent ten years refusing 1RMs because it was mostly show off, injury-inducing nonsense. But then Wendler.

I only know Wendler for 5/3/1 which I did for a year once I moved to Fargo. From what I remember he doesn't advocate 1RM's perse. Well, he does but only prior to starting 5/3/1 to ascertain your training weights off the 1RM percentage. The 1 weeks you should typically do more than 1 rep, and if you do 1 rep or can't manage you deload until you attempt the weight again, hopefully successfully. Does he have a different routine/ideology now?

Yep:

He's got AMRAPs and "Joker" sets now. Both optional. Jokers are a 1RM after your Wendler 1RM if you're up for it.

Diode · 08-23-2013, 07:28 PM

They make stopper bars for a reason.

And if you squat on the smith machine enjoy snap city.

At your bodyweight and level of weightlifting spotting for squats is hundreds of miles away. Stay away from the Smith Machine young man.

08-23-2013, 07:32 PM

Lol I'd rather still do negatives than max

PancakeBrah · 08-23-2013, 07:32 PM

To be real for a moment,

I hurt my back deadlifting about 8 months ago. Didn't hurt it while deadlifting, was doing seated rows. But it had to have been from deadlifting with shit form on heavy 1RM's or triplets. And currently been an alcoholic. About two month ago my bench maxed was 285x3. All time squat max is like 275x5 but that was a year ago, just now squatting again due to back pain fears. OHP max is something like 165x3. All figures at a 180~190 bodyweight. Went through a BB phase for awhile though.

Also being real:

Take care of your fucking back. It is very important. Form over weight, always. Hit the hole hard or don't lift it. Try not think of it as lifting dead weight off the floor, think of pushing yourself against gravity and standing up. Clench dat ass when you finish the lift and for the love of got do not lean back past parallel (unless you are a fan of snap city). Always keep biceps/triceps loose, they aren't supposed to be doing the lift and are a quick way to tearing one. Shoulders forward. If you have grip problems, use straps. There is no shame in it.

I appreciate the advice, I've read that after fucking my back. I definitely went through a phase of just saying fuck form and getting the weight up anyway possible. Not activating quads, lifting with my back first, etc. Shitty thing is I knew the correct form but my ego got in the way.
